Secondary Meaning
In probate law (administration of an estate of a person who died), a claim for a debt of the deceased denied (rejected) in total or in part by the executor or administrator of the estate. a claim is rejected in writing filed with the court, and a judge shall approve or disapprove the rejection if the claimant protests. if a claim is not acted upon it may be presumed to be approved in most states. there are other types of claims which may be rejected by agencies or individuals, which can be protested in a lawsuit if all administrative procedures are used first (under the rule called “exhaustion of administrative remedies”).
